雅思聽力的14個(gè)技巧Top 14 Tips for IELTS Listening (1)

　　My first tip: write no more than three words. What do I mean by this? I don't mean for the whole thing, write no more than three words. On the IELTS, you will have to read the instruction of what to do. Often times, the instruction, before you listen, you're going to see: "Write no more than three words." This is an example of an instruction you must follow. One mistake a lot of students make during the IELTS is they don't read instructions properly. They're nervous, they're stressed out, they write whatever, they don't follow the instructions. If you see something like: "Write no more than three words." Do that. You can't write four, don't write five. Write three or less.

　　我的第一條建議是：答案不超過三個(gè)單詞。并不是說雅思考試中的所有題目都是這樣，在雅思考試中，通常你要按照題目的要求來填寫答案。在聽聽力前，你必須仔細(xì)閱讀答題要修。很多同學(xué)在做雅思聽力時(shí)，由于緊張，由于壓力過度，他們會(huì)忽略答題要求，隨心所欲的填寫答案。如果答題要寫寫明“填寫不超過三個(gè)單詞”，一定要按照要求來，不要寫四個(gè)或者五個(gè)單詞，不要多寫或者少些。

　　Point number two: get used to British English. A large part of the IELTS, you will be listening to British accents. Sometimes you might hear Australian accents or Canadian, you might hear a range, but a lot of the accents will be British. So it's very important to get used to listening to British accents. And also, listen to other accents like Canadian, Australian; that's a good idea too. Where can you find British accents to listen to? I recommend the BBC. They have a lot of great videos there and most of it's with British accents, so it's a very good idea so you can practice listening. The more you practice listening with British accents, the easier it will be to understand British speakers. Especially if you're used to American English, this is a very good thing to do.

　　建議二：適應(yīng)英式英語，在絕大多數(shù)的雅思習(xí)題中，你聽到的都是英式英語，當(dāng)然你有時(shí)候也會(huì)聽到澳式英語或者是加拿大英語，但英式英語一定是占領(lǐng)主導(dǎo)地位的，所以適應(yīng)英式發(fā)音十分關(guān)鍵。當(dāng)然，涉獵澳洲口音和加拿大口音也是很有必要的。但在哪里我們能聽到最正宗的英式發(fā)音呢，我推薦BBC，里面大部分的音頻都是正宗的英式發(fā)音，可以幫助你很好的練習(xí)聽力。你聽得越多，自然會(huì)更好的理解英式發(fā)音。特別是對(duì)于那些從小接受美音的同學(xué)們來說，更加應(yīng)該加大這一練習(xí)。

　　Related to this point: British vocab. You should learn British vocabulary. For example: in American English and Canadian English, we say: "truck". In British English, we say: "lorry". So it's good to know some of these British expressions, some British words.

　　另外一個(gè)與之相關(guān)的方面是：英式英語單詞，你應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)英式英語的單詞。在美式英語和加拿大英語中“卡車”這個(gè)詞是“truck”，但是在英式英語中是“l(fā)orry”。由此可見，學(xué)習(xí)英式表達(dá)法和英式單詞是十分有益的。

　　Number four: spelling counts. Okay? The listening part of the IELTS is not just listening; you're actually using other skills like writing and reading. Now, with writing, when you write down your answers, you sometimes have to spell something out, so you have to be very careful with spelling. This is something you should really study and practice before you take the listening part of the IELTS. Practice your spelling. Learn spelling rules.

　　第四點(diǎn)：拼寫規(guī)范。雅思聽力考的不僅僅只是聽力，同時(shí)也在考察你的寫作和閱讀能力。當(dāng)你書寫答案的時(shí)候，有的部分是不用拼寫的，這就要求你在拼寫的時(shí)候十分小心。在你做雅思聽力之前，逆序要多加練習(xí)這個(gè)部分，學(xué)會(huì)拼寫規(guī)則。

　　Number five - this is the thing that always gets my students and I always warn them about when we practice - plural versus singular. You have to listen carefully on whether you're writing down the plural with an "s" or the singular. If the question wants me to write down: "cat", someone's talking about their cat and I write down: "cats", it's incorrect.

　　第五點(diǎn)：這一點(diǎn)是我的學(xué)生在做練習(xí)時(shí)經(jīng)常忽略，每次練習(xí)的時(shí)候，我都要提醒她們留意--單復(fù)數(shù)。當(dāng)你在聽的時(shí)候一定要留意這一點(diǎn)，答案到底是加了s的復(fù)數(shù)呢，還是單數(shù)呢?如果問題所對(duì)應(yīng)的答案時(shí)“cat”，但我寫了“cats”，那么這個(gè)答案就是錯(cuò)誤的。

　　Number six, it is very important to do practice test. There are many books there on the IELTS that have practice tests with a CD, you can listen and you can practice. The more you do, and the better mark probably will be. So do as many practice tests as you can for listening. Maybe when you start, it will be very difficult. It’s good to keep going. Even if you do bad at first, I am sure the more you practice, the more you get used to these accents, you are going to do fine.

　　第六點(diǎn)：多做習(xí)題是關(guān)鍵。市面上有很多雅思練習(xí)題以及CD，你可以多聽多操練。你做的習(xí)題越多，你能拿高分的幾率就越大。所以盡可能的多做一些習(xí)題吧。開始做習(xí)題的時(shí)候通常會(huì)比較艱難，但一定要堅(jiān)持下去。及時(shí)你一開始的時(shí)候錯(cuò)誤率很高，但我堅(jiān)信只要你一直堅(jiān)持下去，一定會(huì)越來越好。

　　Number seven: prediction. During the listening, at the end of each section, you have some time to check your answers and to read the questions that are coming up. It is very important to look ahead. The reason is you can make a prediction. It is not exactly a guess, but you can predict what an answer is going to be, and your chance of getting that answer right is going to increase. You can predict the answer is going to be a noun, a verb, an adjective, or an adverb according to the context.

　　第七點(diǎn)：預(yù)測。在聽力考試中，每一個(gè)部分的最后，你都會(huì)有時(shí)間檢查答案或者是閱讀下一部分的問題。提前看題是十分必要的，因?yàn)槟憧梢愿鶕?jù)問題對(duì)答案做出一個(gè)推斷，這個(gè)推斷并不是毫無理由的猜測，而是預(yù)測答案大致的方向，這樣的話你的答案正確率也會(huì)相應(yīng)的提升。你可以根據(jù)題目的內(nèi)容，推測出答案到底是一個(gè)名詞，一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，一個(gè)形容詞還是一個(gè)副詞。
